[Story begins...]

Ryouga stalked through the Tendou-ke. He had already knocked Souun and Genma
out and tied them up. He had contemplated killing them just to further ruin
Ranma's life, but he couldn't be bothered. He had a far more satisfying goal
in mind.

After Akane had married Ranma, Ryouga's entire life had been shattered. He 
had no reason to live other than revenge. Not just on Ranma, but on that 
whole damned family that mistreated him for so long. Ranma had made a fool 
of him, and Akane had forsaken him. Now it was payback time. 

He stalked into the dining room where Akane was lying on the table, tied and 
bound. He stepped up next to her and looked down. Her eyes stared fearfully
at him, almost as if in disbelief. Ryouga smiled, "Yes. Akane-`san'" he said
bitterly, "This is real... You and Ranma and all of your blasted family have
made my life a living hell! Now it's your turn!"

Akane tried to shy away as Ryouga closed in on her. He tore away her blouse
and bra in one motion. He smiled widely, not at the sight of her breasts, but
at her fear and misery. It was more than he could have ever hoped for. "Now 
you know what you did to me!" he snarled hatefully.

He then tore off the rest of her clothes and then removed his trousers. He
smiled as he forced her legs apart. He then grabbed her jaw and forced her
to look at him as he drove himself into her. Her eyes squeezed tightly shut
in response to his invasion. He laughed loudly, savouring both the feeling
and the satisfaction he got from her expression. 

He pulled back and repeated the motion, garnering much the same response. He
moved again. And again. Each time eliciting a strangled cry from his sobbing
victim. He didn't care that this was someone he had once loved, he'd spent a
long time building up his hatred until it was a monster that consumed him. And
he had let it. The monster gave him focus...and power... He laughed as he felt
himself let go. He looked down with some satisfation at seeing her striken 
expression as she realised what had happened. He leaned down and kissed her
on the cheek. "Nice..." he growled. He got off her struggling body and pulled
his pants up. He then grabbed her and dragged her out onto the lawn outside.
He then turned and faced her. "Just so you don't think this is just a night-
mare... SHISHIHOUKOUDAN!"

He turned and unleshed a massive blast of power straight at the Tendou-ke. The 
buildng rocked as it slipped off its foundations and crashed to the ground.
Everything fell to one side as the west wall collapsed and took most of the 
upper storey with it. When all fell silent, Ryouga turned and sneered at 
Akane. "It didn't have to be this way. You could have chosen me!" With that,
he turned and stomped out, smashing his way through the wall as he did so.

[16 Years Later]

Ryouga sat on the lonely road side, his pack resting next to him. He sighed.
All of the travelling was getting increasingly tiring as the years caught up 
with him. He desparately wanted to go back to Japan and go home, but he knew
he could not... Not after what he had done. 

He smiled bitterly. It had been the ultimate in revenge. He had gotten what
he wanted and had ruined Ranma's life all in one master stroke. Even so, he
was not overly happy with the outcome. Ranma had killed himself out greif a 
few years later. That made Ryouga unhappy. He wanted Ranma to suffer much 
longer than that. 

Ryouga sighed and got up. He shouldered his pack and began walking again. A
little further down the road, a young man, only a teenager, followed. He wore
a black chinese shirt and pantsand had a plaited black pigtail. On his 
forearms were a pair of ornate gauntlets. He frowned as he moved, but smiled 
briefly when he saw Ryouga, revealing a set of fangs not unlike Ryouga's own. 
He expression turned to stone again and he moved on.

Ryouga looked back over his shoulder at the road behind. There was definitely
someone following him. He could tell by the way the air was so still. Whoever
it was, was good. There were few who could evade Ryouga's senses. He frowned 
and turned to look ahead. 

On the road in front of him was the young man, standing impassively with his 
arms folded across this chest. Ryouga did not move, unsure of what the boy 
wanted. Ryouga couldn't help but notice that he looked a lot like him in his 
younger days.

When it became clear that the boy was not going to speak, Ryouga said, "Who
are you, boy? What do you want?"

The boy looked up and smiled coldly, revealing the fangs, "I want you dead...
`Father'" He said the last with utter disgust in his voice.

Ryouga stared. "What? How?" he stammered.

In answer, the boy ran forwards and drove his fist into Ryouga's face, sending 
him flying back on the ground. Ryouga crawled to his knees, his head ringing 
from the blow. He looked up just in time to be kicked in the face and sent 
rolling down the hill.

When he stopped, he looked dizzily up to see the boy strolling down the hill
after him. He shook himself and shrugged his pack off. Whoever the boy was, 
he was powerful. Ryouga stood slowly and faced the boy.

The boy stopped about ten feet away and smiled at him, "So... We finally meet.
I've spent my whole life wondering about you..."

"Who are you?!" Ryouga demanded, clenching his fists.

"WHO AM I!?!" the boy yelled. "I AM FUKUSHUU SAOTOME! My mother is Akane 
Saotome! You are my father!"

Ryouga stepped back, "That's impossible..."

The boy rushed in and hammered Ryouga back with chains of continuous punches
and elbows. Ryouga found himself hard pressed to even block the endless flurry
as he was blasted back. He rolled across the ground and hopped to his feet.
"What do you want with me?! he shouted.

The boy simply raised his guard and said, "I am here to kill you. I have been
hunting you for months. Luck brought you to me. Now I will avenge my true 
father!"

Ryouga scowled, "What do you mean?! If I'm your father then who was Ranma?!"

The boy's face twisted in rage, "He was the one who cared for me! The one who
loved me even though I was NOT his son! He taught me to fight! And I WILL 
honor him by killing you! My entire life has been spent training for this!
Prepare for death!"

Ryouga gaped, unable to comprehend how this could be. This boy was so cold 
and so determined. He had Ryouga's face, but he had Ranma's spirit.

Ryouga stepped back into his guard and frowned, "If you want a fight, you've 
got one!"

The boy launched a flying kick at Ryouga. Ryouga blocked the move and flicked 
him away. The boy somersaulted and slammed his heel into Ryouga's face, 
felling him again.

Ryouga crouched on the ground, holding his stinging jaw.

The boy dropped lightly to the ground and stared grimly at him, "That was just 
a taste. You are going to suffer for what you did to my family..."

"What did I do to them that they did not do to me first?!" Ryouga snarled.

"You raped my mother. You killed my father. You drove my sister mad. Every
pain that has been inflicted on us has been because of you. I've been waiting
ten years to pay you back!" the boy countered angrilly.

Ryouga jumped up and shouted, "YOU'RE NOT PUTTING THIS ON ME! SHISHIHOUKOU-
DAN!"

The boy smiled and counterattacked, "KIRAU ARASHI!"

Ryouga's Shishihoukoudan was hit by a wave of radiating power and exploded,
hurling Ryouga back against a large boulder. When he opened his eyes, he could
see the boy slowly advancing.

"How do you like my `hate storm'?" the boy said conversationally. "I created
it just for killing you. Father taught me the technqiue for Mouko Takabisha
and for Shishihoukoudan... But he said I had to choose my own source for my 
techniwue... And I chose my hate for you!"

Ryouga stepped away from the rock and raised his fists, "NO MORE! That bastard
tore my life apart! He took everything from me!"

Before he could react, the boy was on him, throwing volleys of lightening fast 
punches. Ryouga vaulted back, but was caught and slammed on his back. The boy
looked down and said, "It is you who stole from me. It is you who sinned agai-
nst others. You have no right to feel mistreated! Whatever you recieved, you 
deserved!"

The boy grabbed Ryouga and dragged him up. Ryouga flailed in an attempt to
break free, but the grip was too strong. He could see death in the boys eyes
and it frightened him. The boy pulled back a fist and drove it into Ryouga's
jaw.

Ryouga flew back in a daze. As he hit the ground, he could tell that his jaw 
was broken. He shook his head and stumbled to one foot.

The boy stepped up and drove his foot into the raised leg, destroying the 
joint in the process. Ryouga cried out in agony as his leg was torn apart.

The boy dragged him up by his hair and slammed his fist into Ryouga's solar 
plexus. There was a sharp crack as Ryouga's sternum broke. The boy dropped 
him and stepped back to admire his work.

Ryouga lay on the ground in agony. He could barely breath and his entire body
was on fire. Slowly, he charged his chi for a super shishihoukoudan.

The boy turned and delivered a vicious kick to Ryouga's kidneys. "None of 
that! I'm not going to fall for that trick!" He kicked Ryouga again for good 
measure and then stepped back. 

Ryouga just lay still for a time, blood dribbling from his mouth. Finally, he
put one hand down and pushed himself up. As soon as he did, he was grabbed and
hurled skyward. 

He heard the boys snarling voice, "Here! Let me help!"

Ryouga flew limply into the air and then dropped. As he came down, he was 
blasted up again by a fist in the back. There was a crack and his snipe shatt-
ered. He dropped limply to the ground, his entire lower body numb. He looked
up to see the boy looming over him. He was picked up and thrown against the
boulder. As he lay on the rock, he saw the boy clench his fist.

"Now it ends!" the boy shouted in rage, "For all the things you have done to
my family... THE PENALTY IS DEATH!"

The boy thrust his hand forward and unleashed a massive wirlwind. "HIRYUUSHOU-
TENHA!"

The wind slammed into Ryouga's body with concussive force. He could feel the
searing pain of organs bursting and blood flowing freely through his mangled
body. The wind finally dropped him to the ground, but he was not dead, much 
as he wished he was.

The boy strode over and crouched near him, "Still alive?" he enquired.

Ryouga was only able to gurgle weakly.

The boy simply lifted what was left of Ryouga by the throat and raised him 
to eye level. "I just want you to know that even though you are my natural 
father, I hate you as I have never hated anything in my life. It makes me 
sick to think that I could be a part of you in any way!" 

The boy pulled back his fist and clenched it tightly, "KACCHU TENSHIN AMIGURI-
KEN!"

His fist blazed as it slammed mecilessly into his father again and again. He
reveled in the feeling, each blow diminishing the anger and pain that he felt
inside. Blood began to splatter his face as he continued to rain punches on
the unresisting body. It occured momentarily to him that his cursed father 
was dead, but he went on, enjoying the feeling of utterly destroying that 
which he hated most. 

Finally, he dropped his blood soaked fist and dropped the unrecognisable lump
of pulped flesh to the ground. He was covered from head to foot in blood and
gore, but he didn't care. His life's work had been accomplished. He was fina-
lly at peace with himself and his family. He put his hands together and bowed
his head, "I have avenged you father. Forgive me for breaking your code... 
But sometimes...you have to have the final say..." He opened his eyes and 
wiped the blood from his face. He took one more look and turned to go, pausing 
long enough to spit on the bloody corpse. He turned and walked back down the 
mountain trail as the vulture closed in for an easy meal.

NOTE: Fukushuu means revenge.

This was BLACK. I know... Listening to Fear Factory has had an odd effect on
me. I've never liked Ryouga.. I guess it sort of comes out in this... ;)
I don't quite know what to make of it... But if you don't like it... 
Fuck you!
